《ARC》Book 1 Chapter 25 It’s A Delicacy

The survivors seemed anxious after hearing Su call out as they looked around nervously like someone would steal the food from them.
"Umm, no thank you," Noah looked at the tentacle meat in disgust.
"But it's meat from a high-grade creature, it contains lifeforce if you eat it, and I've never heard of anyone getting meat from one that powerful before!" Su informed him with a bewildered expression telling him something which was common knowledge.
Noah looked towards the pair of survivors who had resumed eating the sea creature's meat. He became aware that light was flowing beneath their skin as they ate. He hadn't noticed the light initially under all the men's filth.
The shrouded man dishing out the meat had also begun to eat. There was a white glow under the surface of all the survivor's skin as they ate the monster's flesh. But more noteworthy was a large muscular bearded man with square, angular features whose white glow suddenly changed into yellow light, similar in colour to the sea creature's, only far weaker in comparison.
"Okay, I'll try it," Noah said reluctantly after witnessing the lifeforce flowing as the survivors ate.
The shrouded man gently handed the meat he had been eating to the large bearded man while gesturing to him in sign language. He then briefly lowered his scarf to give the large man a peck on the cheek.
The bearded man nodded then began to eat the meat he was given while watching with a worried expression. The shrouded man wiped his hands clean on his clothes before pulling his knife to cut Noah a portion twice the size of any of the others.
As the shrouded man was about to hand the meat to Noah, Ronan arrived in the room with Sophie and Chloe close behind him.

"What do you blanks think you're doing?!" Ronan roared as he saw the survivors eating. Before noticing Noah or Mister Kim, he went to the nearest survivor then kicked them to the floor.
"I'm sick of you witches thinking you can do whatever you like!" the man on the floor cried as he pulled a revolver from his coat before aiming it at Ronan's head then pulling the trigger.
"HAHAHA! You stupid fucking blank, don't you even know that guns don't work anymore" Ronan mocked the bewildered man sprawled backward on the floor, looking at his revolver in confusion.
Ronan then stomped down onto the man's chest, causing him to cough out blood as an internal organ ruptured from the force.
"Stop!" Noah forcibly dragged Ronan away from the man.
Ronan reacted quickly as he turned towards Noah while throwing out a punch, Noah's [Battle Instinct] ability triggered, causing him to reflexively slip his head out of the path of the fist as he released his hold on Ronan before taking a step back.
"I've had it up to here with you interfering with me boy," Ronan growled as he eyed Noah menacingly.
"Let's see how tough you are without your system sword letting you use that cutting ability."
Ronan grinned as he looked greedily towards Noah's system armour and swim bag, which he thought held his supply of crystals. He was surprised that Ronan knew that his [Wind Blade] ability came from his sword.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that while he had isolated himself in the warehouse for a month, the survivors must have discovered the store. It was plenty of time for system items to become common knowledge.
While he was hesitating, Ronan acted. He reached both his hands towards Noah as yellow light moved beneath the surface towards his hands. He clearly witnessed Ronan's flow of lifeforce activating his [Stone Touch] ability with his battle instinct.

His [Six Spirit Arms] ability was activated by reflex as Ronan's glowing hands drew nearer. He watched impassively without flinching as time seemed to slow down.
Ronan's hands halted only a finger width in front of Noah's face as four of his ethereal hands gripped both of Ronan's wrists tightly before slowly pulling them upwards, stretching his body until he stood on his toes to expose his throat.
As the large man strained against his four spirit arms, Noah's remaining two ethereal hands grasped Ronan's neck to lift him entirely from the floor before pulling the large intimidating man slowly towards himself. All Ronan could focus on as he began to panic was his indifferent purple, intense glowing gaze.
Ronan has a large, imposing build, a head taller than most other men, allowing him to overcome many situations with force alone. But in front of Noah, he was rendered completely helpless. Ronan now had a nervous expression on his face as his forehead became covered in sweat.
"I haven't killed anyone before. But for you, I may just make an exception." Noah spoke with the grim expression of an executioner as he threatened Ronan.
"It was my mistake, I won't try it again!" Ronan tried to talk his way out of it.
"No, you won't," Noah replied coldly.
Ronan managed to twist his hands enough to touch one of the opposing ethereal arms, which caused him to smirk in triumph.
"Too late for you now, boy."
Ronan spoke as he once again activated his [Stone Touch] ability, but just as he felt that he had succeeded, his face turned pale white.
"What?..." Ronan asked in disbelief.
His [Stone Touch] ability was utterly useless against the spirit arms as they weren't physical objects. So Ronan was unable to even resist against Noah's [Six Spirit Arms] ability.
Upon seeing this, Sophie tried to intervene by rushing up to Noah. Noah reached out with one of his free arms to also grip Sophie by her throat as he turned his merciless glowing gaze towards her. He used his increased physique to lift Sophie until her toes were only brushing the floor while they flailed for purchase.
"Cough...Cough…" Sophie let out a cough as she clutched at his wrist in panic.
"Noah, wait a minute!" Mister Kim called out, which caused Noah to transfer his glowing, merciless gaze towards him.
